"The clients who seek me out have worked everywhere from the White House, Pentagon and NSA to Parliament Hill via every major industry in North America.
You couldn't be in better hands!"
If the owner of the company isn’t writing your resume, then who is? Unlike some ‘big box’ resume factories that use the owner as nothing more than a figurehead to attract business, I do not outsource your resume writing services to anonymous ghost writers, low-wage overseas contractors, or office juniors with little real world experience. You will partner directly with me and will be able to leverage my hard-won expertise for your resume project.
There are many ‘big box’ resume writing services in Vancouver, however if you’re looking for high-level expertise and the personal touch, we could be a good match.
I am Canada’s first Certified Master Resume Writer and the first resume writer in Canada invited to join the prestigious Forbes Coaches Council. I have also won multiple resume writing awards from Career Directors International in the ‘Best Executive Resume’ category.
When you engage me to write your resume, you will benefit from my hard-won expertise in the domestic and international recruiting world where I led search assignments for major Fortune 500 companies on two continents, including Shell, Chevron, Encana Corporation, Teck, Fluor, IBM, Motorola, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, British Red Cross, and many more.
I acquired insight into how they recruit and what they look for in an applicant. I know what you’re doing wrong with your resume. I have reviewed over 40,000 resumes and interviewed over 6,000 people over the course of my career.
Leverage my hard-won, real-world business experience developed in the recruitment consulting and executive recruiting trenches to give you the edge you deserve with your resume writing project.

I'm Ken, an experienced executive recruiter, former staffing agency owner, and award-winning, multi-certified resume writer with 24+ years of experience
I am the first resume writer in Canada to have attained the levels of excellence needed to be awarded the most prestigious credential in the worldwide resume writing industry – Certified Master Resume Writer, and the first resume writer in Canada invited to join the prestigious Forbes Coaches Council. I have also won multiple resume writing awards from Career Directors International in the ‘Best Executive Resume’ category. If you’re looking for resume writing services in Vancouver, read on to find out more.
My resume services have been sought out by some of the most talented and influential people in BC, throughout Canada, and indeed across North America, to include a former member of a Canadian Prime Minister’s innermost circle, White House & Pentagon executives, CEOs of publicly traded companies, trailblazing entrepreneurs, high-ranking military figures, and award-winning professionals at every level.
I provide resume writing services to people at all levels and in all industries, although I tend to specialize in professional, management, and executive-level resume writing projects. In addition to resume writing services, I offer package add-ons featuring LinkedIn profile writing and interview coaching which is available to resume writing services clients either by selecting my Silver/Gold packages depending on your needs. For more information visit my ‘Buy Now‘ page.
My resume writing services pricing structure is highly competitive. I know of no other resume writer in the Canadian marketplace who offers the blend of recruiting expertise, business experience, and professional resume writing credentials and awards at this price point.
I don’t ask you to pay extra for a bloated corporate structure, swanky downtown offices, or commission mark-up before outsourcing resume writing projects to an anonymous ‘team’ of writers. You deal with me from start-to-finish, I write the documents, and there are no hidden fees at any stage of the process.
I have featured in radio/print media including CBC, B.I.V., and Forbes.com, and my resume samples were hand-picked by the President of CDI for inclusion in the 7th & 8th Editions of ‘Resumes for Dummies‘.
I know of no-one else in this market who can offer you the unique blended skill set I bring to your project. If you are looking for professional resume writing services in the Vancouver, BC marketplace, partner with me and take advantage of my extensive recruitment consulting, executive recruiting, and resume writing background to give your resume the edge it deserves.
What matters most to you at this point? Getting it done cheap, or getting it done right? Yes, there are cheaper resume writing services options and yes, I can only take on a certain number of resume writing clients per month.
If cheap, quick, and readily available is what you need, there are plenty of people ready to send your resume writing services project overseas, hand it to a ‘trainee’ resume builder, or someone with no certifications or understanding of the recruiting world and best ways to market a skill set.
If you can see the value in what I bring to your resume writing services project, I’d like to work with you.
